Mapping Flow is not created after importing a deployment package - "Cannot find the source instruction for creating the link"
Problem
-- after importing a deployment package, no error is thrown, and all objects are imported except the Mapping Flow
-- this errors occurs in MappingServices.log :
"Cannot find the source instruction for creating the link <out7>"
Resolution
* the import is not able to identify the output link "out777"
* open the files MapStage_*.xml and search for "out777"
* remove the section specific to "out777"
Ex :
<Link from="3" id="15" label="" mapBrokerOutput="oDef" name="MAPSERVICE.RCV824CRW.RCV824V8R1CRW_SWITCH:oDef" to="8" xmlVersion="1.0">
<Object id="fcb1f762-e04f-4248-95be-7d502cc319f3">
<name>MAPSERVICE.RCV824CRW.RCV824V8R1CRW_SWITCH:out777</name>
</Object>
</Link>
* re-import the deployment package
* open the Mapping Flow and recreate the missing links
